Does anyone have any info on the Japanese coverage of Grid Grabber mentioned here? Specifically, what magazine published those screenshots, and, if possible, scans showing the actual text accompanying the images.

Preview scans were from Famitsu and Famimaga in Sept. 1989. Ad from a Dec. '89 Famitsu.

Details about the game from the pics:
"An action game from America. Collect all the blocks to clear a stage. 9 stages in total. Item boxes, missiles, and robot tanks make an appearance. You can select 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 matches. Collect the blocks and carve out your territory. Due for release in Jan. '90."

It appears to have been programmed by Elite, so... not really from America? :wink:
